Port Stephens’ local fireplace installation specialists
Heating & Outdoors by the Glendale Warehouse has been supplying and installing fireplaces in Port Stephens and across the Hunter Region for over 40 years. We’re based in Glendale, Newcastle, which means we’re close enough to do the job properly and support you after installation.
If you’re comparing fireplace installers in Port Stephens and Nelson Bay, NSW, here’s what distinguishes us:
- We’re not a trade-only contractor
- We run a full retail showroom with 80-plus fireplaces on display
- We supply directly from leading brands
- Our installation team handles the full job, including flue, compliance, and commissioning.
Gas log fireplaces
Gas log fireplaces produce instant warmth and a realistic flame without the maintenance of a wood-burning system. Connect to your home’s natural gas supply and control the heat from a remote or wall switch. Available in freestanding and inbuilt configurations, gas log fireplaces are a popular choice for primary living areas across Port Stephens homes.
Wood-burning fireplaces
Wood burning fireplaces deliver strong, radiant heat and a genuine atmosphere that gas and electric options don’t replicate. Port Stephens properties with outdoor space often suit a wood heater well, particularly for homeowners who enjoy the ritual of a wood fire through the cooler months. Our range covers freestanding and inbuilt wood heaters from trusted Australian and international brands.
Inbuilt fireplaces
Inbuilt fireplaces are installed into an existing wall cavity or fireplace opening, producing a flush, integrated finish with no freestanding footprint in the room. Available in gas, wood, and electric, they suit renovation projects and new builds where the fireplace is part of a deliberate design decision. Our team advises on the installation requirements, so you know exactly what’s involved before the work begins.
Freestanding fireplaces
Freestanding fireplaces are a versatile option for homes where an inbuilt installation isn’t practical. Position them in any room with the right flue access and move them if your needs change. Freestanding wood heaters are a particularly good fit for larger Port Stephens homes and open-plan rooms where serious heat output is the priority.
Electric fireplaces
Electric fireplaces require no gas connection, no flue, and no chimney, making them the easiest option to install and the most flexible to place. Modern electric models produce convincing flame effects and real warmth, and they’re a practical choice for holiday homes, rental properties, or rooms where a flued system isn’t an option. Our range includes wall-mounted, inbuilt, and freestanding electric models.
Suspended fireplaces
Suspended fireplaces are ceiling-mounted and designed to anchor a space visually as much as they heat it. Available in gas and wood, these imported fireplaces from JC Bordelet work particularly well in open-plan living areas and homes where a floor-level hearth doesn’t suit the architecture. Our team can advise on structural and flue requirements to help you understand what a suspended installation involves for your specific home.
